DOCS Software

DOCS is the latest technology in non contact tube measurement:
An automatic tube bending machine adjustment is included, as well as springback calculation and customized interfaces to the most common pipe bending machines.
G-Tube reduces the time of bending machine setup and the cost of tube manufacturing.

Characteristics:

• Creation of theoretical tubes (LRA or XYZ)
• Measurement of bent tubes with generation of a control report.
• Communication with one or several benders in order to automatically correct bending data. (option)

Functionalities:

Tube

• Tube data export and import
• XYZ or LRA theoretical tube creation
• Unit choice: inch or millimetres
• XYZ, LRA theoretical tube edition
• Tolerances visualization and affectation to T1MPT2 and to XYZ
• Tolerances affectation for inspection
• Control on the actual measure (Measure in the bend setup)
• Number of measurements to make an average
• Over length and different diameter in extremities setup
• Referential management (Plan Line Point, 3-2-1, Best Fit or hard points)
• Symmetrical or mirror tube creation

Inspection/Measure

• Measure a tube (compared to a theoretical one)
• Spring Back management (straight tube measure,…)
• Memory inspection: open a tube as measured
• Results : standards, extended, 3D view, Excel
• Statistic (SPC)
• Measure with double or simple accuracy
• Record a measured tube as a theoretical tube (model measure)
• Management of CLRA corrections
• Inspect a measured tube with the theoretical

Bender

• Automatic correction of LRA
• Management of bending parameters (speed, …)
• Affect a picture to a bender
• Communication with a bender (send and receive)

• Automatic or manual system (user or administrator)
• 3D view (shaded or wire frame, zoom and rotation functions, labels)
• Customized or not report printing via « Direct Print » or Excel.
• Arm management (connect, Reset, disconnect,…)

Advantages:

• Languages available: French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Swedish.
• Easy and intuitive software: it doesn’t require a good knowledge of metrology
• Display of tubes via a powerful graphical view
• Customized Excel report printing
• Possibility to print results without Excel
• Automatic mode to measure tubes in quick succession
